Sutton Bridge Junction signal box is a GWR Type 7 signal box built in 1913. It nestles down in a cutting in the suburbs of Shrewsbury, hence the heavy shadows in this image. It now only controls the junction with the Welshpool line. The next block post to the south is Dorrington five rail miles away. Note that it has had its three windows on the lower level rather crudely boarded up but it's good to see that it still retains the traditional three over two window arrangement on the upper level.
